<p dir="ltr">A couple of days ago you received an email from Rafik about CROPP. CROPP is a pilot program run by ICANN which supports participation at conferences for the constituency outreach. 5 slots go to ncuc members we have already allocated one. We now have 4. </p>
<p dir="ltr">I would like to give you some ideas as to how you can apply for such funding:</p>
<p dir="ltr">Members from Asia Pacific, you can submit a request to go to AprIGF or any other event. Your request should concretely say how you would like to do outreach for NCUC. Your proposal can also include attendance at a workshop but you have to bear in mind that you need to do outreach. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Members from Europe especially South East Europe: you can ask for funding to go to SEEDIG to hold a session, target a group for outreach etc. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Members from Africa :you can go to Africa Internet Summit. Remember it is required that you have a plan for outreach and a session or a target group to talk to about NCUC.</p><p dir="ltr">Members from Latin America, you can go to CIVICUS. <a href="http://civicus.org/ICSW/" target="_blank">http://civicus.org/ICSW/</a><br></p><p>As to North America, I was wondering if USA IGF would be a good target meeting, however as it will be held in July I don't think we can allocate CROPP to it. Hence, please those members from North America, step forward and suggest a potential conference that is worth going and suitable for NCUC outreach. </p><p>These are all suggestions, you can request for CROPP for any other conference in any other region, and then EC decides. This was just to give you a couple of examples. </p><p>Please bear in mind that we need proposals for outreach, the intention to attend a conference is not enough justification. </p><p>Look forward to your proposals. </p><p>Rafik's email for CROPP request is as below: . </p><p><br></p><div style="color:black;font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;border-width:1pt medium medium;border-style:solid none none;padding:3pt 0in 0in;border-top-color:rgb(181,196,223)"><span style="font-weight:bold">From: </span>Ncuc-discuss <<a href="mailto:ncuc-discuss-bounces@lists.ncuc.org" target="_blank">ncuc-discuss-bounces@lists.ncuc.org</a>> on behalf of <span>Rafik</span> Dammak <<a href="mailto:rafik.dammak@gmail.com" target="_blank"><span>rafik</span>.dammak@gmail.com</a>><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Date: </span>Tuesday, February 16, 2016 at 07:06<br><span style="font-weight:bold">To: </span>"<a href="mailto:ncuc-discuss@lists.ncuc.org" target="_blank">ncuc-discuss@lists.ncuc.org</a>" <<a href="mailto:ncuc-discuss@lists.ncuc.org" target="_blank">ncuc-discuss@lists.ncuc.org</a>><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Subject: </span>[NCUC-DISCUSS] [Announcement] Call for <span>CROPP</span> proposals<br></div><div style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;font-size:16px"><br></div><div style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;font-size:16px"><div dir="ltr"><div><font color="#000000"><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Dear NCUC members,</font><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"> </span></font></div><div><font color="#000000"><br></font></div><div><font color="#000000"><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><a href="https://community.icann.org/display/croppfy16/Community+Regional+Outreach+Pilot+Program+%28CROPP%29-FY16+Home" target="_blank">The Community Regional Outreach Pilot Program (<span>CROPP</span>)</a> allocates </font><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">each constituency</font><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"> with funds for five travel slots to attend a meeting/event.
